Will it work for you or against you?

What will it take to stop trolls and right-wingers from being on the Internet?


The end of democracy

Really.

I count it a privilege to be trolled. It means that I have an opinion (many actually) that some people don’t like. If the price of being free-thinking is that I get idiots whining at me, then bring it on.

Why do trolls do it? Because they’re scared. They hold some half-arsed belief that they haven’t really questioned and then someone turns up who dares to hold a different opinion and rather than think “Hey I might be wrong”, they prefer to attack the other person.

American women are the worst. They waffle on about freedom and democracy but if you hold an opinion that differs from them, you’re scum-sucking slime that shouldn’t be allowed to speak. Sorry, that’s not how democracy works. In a democracy, someone is allowed to believe whatever they want, no matter how repugnant I may personally find it, just so long as they don’t break the law or incite others to break the law.

Just because someone holds a different opinion to you doesn’t automatically make them wrong and you right. You might both be wrong. Oops.

And don’t hate the right wingers because you’re one of them. The elimination of free speech is about as extreme right wing as you can get. Oh, actually, it’s about as extreme left-wing as you can get as well. Hey, everyone agrees, everyone’s happy.
